Who you picking Rigo vs Loma?

I hope Rigondeaux been training and working on his inside game like a mad man.. Lomachenko is actually better than him with the inside game tactics.

Too close to call... but the fans win big time if they can make this fight... it's one those super fights that should be a PPV but since most people don't like boxing, we'll get it on free HBO most likely...Or it might be on a big ppv undercard... but I think it'll probably be a headliner on free HBO... most likely won't get made though. It should be on a Mayweather vs GGG superfight card. Mayweather vs GGG Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko Ward vs Kovalev Juan Fransciso Estrada vs Nanoyu Inoue

Well under Rigo's stipulations(catchweight and rehydration weight clause) I would favor RIgo slighty. But in at an honest no catchweight or rehydration clause then im all for Lomo. Lomo has got great skill and his speed is very good. I think Lomo has a good chance to get a KO. I'd say mostly the same as this but I think it'll be a Rigo UD

Personally Rigo is too fast, elusive and skilled. Lomo although very skilled, in my view no where as skilled as Rigo and no were as quick. Yeah Rigo is 1,000 times better than Loma. Just not enough to move up 4 lbs and fight him. :thinking:

Loma wins 5 rounds but drops rigo once in the fight. Unlike donair and the rest of the fighters rigo has faught Loma wont be a fish out of water or surprised/fased by rigos boxing

It's a tough one to call. I'd go with Rigondeaux though.

Rigo by Comfortable UD! I think Lomachenko is a excellent fighter and a guy that could easily be P4P #1 in the world one day but Rigondeaux is next level IMO. I don't think nobody even at 126 beats Rigondeaux, he is just too smart, too skilled and just overall too good. So hard to even look good against or to even make it look to the judges like you're winning because he is the KING of Dictating The Pace Of The Fight! Rigondeaux is like that short Kung Fu master on those Karate Movies but a Boxing Version: http://i416.photobucket.com/albums/pp250/mychitphoto/pandas/ancient_kung_fu_master_pai_mei.jpg?t=1259965670 He just a clever little guy who knows how to adjust, knows his angles, knows how to keep his distance, knows when to strike and his footwork is amazing.

I wasn't saying it's ONLY about speed, Floyd's reach was a big factor... But during the HBO commentary of Manny/Floyd, Roy said he noticed a "10mph" difference in speed between Floyd and Manny.

I wouldn't say Loma is no where as quick... Loma is VERY quick... quicker than the great majority of boxers now... Even Roy Jones Jr(mr quicksilver himself) said Loma was super fast... It's just that Rigo edges him out... Like how Floyd was able to edge out Manny even though Manny is one of the fastest fighters too. Again, this is what makes for a great matchup...two highly skilled, very fast fighters... Rigo a little faster and bigger reach... Loma with the bigger size and more threatening power... The little differences that will makes all the difference, but which way will the pendulum swing No... Floyd was able to edge out manny because he has a height and reach advantage (and he is still very quick). 72" vs 67" is a very big gap, plus a height advantage of 5'8" vs 5'5". It's not only about speed. Rigo being quicker (and even then, Lomachenko is not too far behind in that regard) doesn't end it all. However, Rigo has a ridiculous reach (68") vs Lomachenko (65"). The only other difference is that Loma has a 5'7" height advantage over Rigo 5'5", so Rigo has some pretty good advantages normally if Lomachenko was his same size--- which he is not. Lomachenko would have a very tough time against Rigo but he can fight on the inside quite well as a larger fighter.

Personally Rigo is too fast, elusive and skilled. Lomo although very skilled, in my view no where as skilled as Rigo and no were as quick. I wouldn't say Loma is no where as quick... Loma is VERY quick... quicker than the great majority of boxers now... Even Roy Jones Jr(mr quicksilver himself) said Loma was super fast... It's just that Rigo edges him out...

Lomo too big, which is way it never happens.

I would give Rigo a very slight edge but it's as close to a 50-50 fight as you can get. The skill level in the ring will be through the roof.

Rigo might actually have the edge in this fight...in terms of speed and reach... Loma has incredible timing and we saw with the Russel fight how he was able to completely take away Russel's speed advantage... However, Russel had short ass arms and didn't have the skill set of Rigo... I see this as probably one of the most tactical professional fights to ever air on TV... And in the latter rounds, things are going to get REAL interesting...we might see whoever is down on points starting to take bigger risks... We know when Rigo gets hit flush he comes RIGHT BACK to get revenge....Both of these guys have absolutely tremendous footwork as well.. These two will bring out the best from each other like no other fighter can... and that's what's so intriguing about this match up... This is a more exciting matchup than Floyd/Manny and no one even knows about it! That's boxing for ya...And unlike Floyd, Rigo will fight back... Rigo doesn't hug his way to victory. And that's another point to celebrate... Neither Rigo or Loma use cheap tactics to win a fight... These guys fight by the book and you can't put the book down.. And imagine if the fight is so close and goes to a controversial decision or draw.... Can you say rematch... could we have a trilogy situation here? Could these guys be each others' kryptonite like Manny and Marquez are to each other...

Loma stops Rigo by the 10th round. No doubt about it. The overrated Cuban goes out on his sheild, though but it'll ultimately be his demise.

Lomo. They're fairly equal in skill & speed, but Lomo's alot bigger. This isn't some one dimensional Donaire we're talking and much lesser guys have dropped Rigo. You say that only based on their amateur resumes or based on their pro fights so far? Because based on professional fights I see from them Rigo has the edge in both category. No question, Loma is very skilled and talented but he didn't convince me so far that he is on Rigo's level, and I don't count any amateur resumes.

I have it 60/40 for Rigo so long as he isnt gun shy. If he fights conservatively then its a toss-up. This would be a great fight! :boxing:
